It's been said that America is more divided now than ever before.

The country currently finds itself in two camps with little hope of bridging the ideological gap. Both sides seemingly have the same set of facts but have come to two completely different conclusions — the consequences of the post-truth world.

2018: The year of "alternative facts," where "truth isn't truth."

And all of this chaos seemingly stems from one person with a Twitter account: @rebeccareilly__, or "becky."

On Aug. 24, becky sent a tweet that would eventually garner more than 20,000 retweets and 34,000 likes as of Aug. 31. The tweet asked a simple question and had a single photo attached.
